mob_control: Control Parameters for Model-based Partitioning

Description

Various parameters that control aspects the fitting algorithm for recursively partitioned mob models.

Usage

mob_control(alpha = 0.05, bonferroni = TRUE, minsplit = 20,
  objfun = deviance, breakties = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

alpha
numeric significance level. A node is splitted when the (possibly Bonferroni-corrected) $p$ value for any parameter stability test in that node falls below alpha.
bonferroni
logical. Should $p$ values be Bonferroni corrected?
minsplit
integer. The minimum number of observations (sum of the weights) in a node.
objfun
function. A function for extracting the minimized value of the ojbective function from a fitted model in a node.
breakties
logical. Should ties in numeric variables be broken randomly for computing the associated parameter instability test?
verbose
logical. Should information about the fitting process of mob (such as test statistics, $p$ values, selected splitting variables and split points) be printed to the screen?

Value

  • A list of class mob_control containing the control parameters.
